Ms Ooi, 42, a senior executive at Sentosa Development Corporation, has taken part in the first two seasons of the National Steps Challenge and has signed up for the third.

She was one of three winners of a Nespresso Pixie Electric Red & Aeroccino bundle (worth $358 each) in an online contest run on tnp.sg.

By either sending in photos on Facebook or adding the hashtags #my10ktoday and #TNPBigWalk17 to pictures on scocial media, participants were asked to show off their running outfits in the spirit of completing the 10,000 steps target of the National Steps Challenge.

Ms Ooi, a mother of two daughters aged 14 and 16, said: "I exercise regularly. I take part in workouts at HPB, community clubs, the Singapore Sports Hub, and a private gym.

She also takes public transport to work and stops one bus stop before her destination, and walks the rest of the way to work - a distance of between 5,000 and 6,000 steps.
